    Gates .ay be an asshole like the rest of them, but the reason he’s probably not on the list is Melinda’s Gates Foundation.

      unfortanely it is not just about giving it out but where, as gates has shown, sometimes money given out can be harmful, gates only gives out money to things will benefit him

        Uh, polio eradication, malaria prevention, vaccine development? I work in the field, and what theFoundation along with Buffet’s money has been transformational. Don’t just believe things, research them. Buffet plans to match the BMGF yearly funding until they run out. That is why Buffet is also the only one giving a significant amount away.

          buffet’s money usually goes to good places for what I know, but for example bill gate’s charaity goes a lot for subtle propaganda campaigns
